Guilford's crew are just getting started, fifth and final in this series. I mentioned in the last caption that Wildcat Transit and another bus company provided continuing service for the Downeaster trains that were disrupted; this led to an interesting story for me. The other bus company contracted was out of Portland, ME. I was very unimpressed with their bus drivers, who were quite reckless and also very uninformed about the area. From Durham, one of the buses was to continue to Dover, NH and then on to Wells, ME. When helping the passengers board this bus, the driver told me he had no idea how to get to Dover (the next town over), nor how to get from there to the Wells station! UNH had originally been asked to provide this continuing service, but we had to decline for various reasons. In the end, we should have found a way to do it instead of this "professional charter company." I ended up riding with the bus driver of the other company to Dover so that he would make it to the station, and then I had to direct him to Wells, although I returned to campus from Dover while he continued on.
